DNA and fingerprints were also collected, said a police source, but "earprints are of similar value as fingerprints in terms of evidence." [Spiegel Online, 4-30-2012]

• Easy Collar: Kalvin Hulvey, 35, was charged with attempted auto theft in Tulsa, Okla., in June after jumping into Jeremy Penny's van and fleeing. Penny and his dad took up the chase and caught Hulvey.

Said Penny later, "I rodeo. (Dad and I) both rodeo."

When police arrived, Hulvey had been neatly hog-tied and secured to a fence.
